Ford Factory - 1935
November 4, 2011
Happy Friday once again. Today is an old photo from the Ford Motor Company, dated July 12, 1935. The caption on the back reads as follows:
The machine shop and final assembly building. This building covers more than 13 acres of ground. At the extreme left is the new electric furnace foundry, built this year at a cost of $500,000.
This part of the picture is my favourite. The large apartment…
Walkerville From Above - c. 1970
October 28, 2011
Happy Friday once again everyone. Today is an undated photo of the Walkerville Area from above. I’m guessing the date to be about 1970 or so. The old Train Station is gone, and the Waterfront Ford Plant # 1 is also gone. It was demolished in 1969. So I doubt that the…

Leo Page Residence - 1919
October 21, 2011
Today we go to Ouellette Avenue, but all the way back to November 8, 1919. We took a look at the Leo Page house back in 2009 here. But I’ve recently obtained a copy of original photo. What a grand house.
This front entrance seems very Great Gatsby-esque, and makes me…
451 Park Street West - 1965
October 12, 2011

NEW AND OLD – Work has been completed on a…
